Biography

Early career

Born in Gallipoli, in the Province of Lecce, Apulia, Gabrieli started his career at local side U.S. Lecce.

Gabrieli joined Poggibonsi on loan in July 2008 in order to gain first team experience.[1] That season the club also signed young keeper Gaetano Lattanzi and Valerio Mollo. Gabrieli won the competition for the starting place and played all 34 league matches of the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In July 2009 he joined Cosenza on loan along with Giuseppe Caccavallo.[2] He was the understudy of Andrea Pinzan until Pinzan was exchanged with Giancarlo Petrocco. At first Gabrieli was a backup of Petrocco, but he replaced Petrocco in round 24 (21 February), and Gabrieli became the first choice. Gabrieli also replaced Petrocco in round 21 (24 January).

Gabrieli left for Paganese in August 2010,[3] rejoining Lecce team-mates Gianmarco Ingrosso and Vittorio Triarico. He was the first choice until the arrival of Paolo Ginestra in December. In January 2011 he was signed by Barletta, ahead of Giuseppe Di Masi and injured Andrea Tesoniero as first choice.[4]

Return to Lecce

On 1 July 2011, Gabrieli returned to Lecce, wearing the number one jersey. However, he was the understudy to Júlio Sérgio and Massimiliano Benassi after Antonio Rosati was sold. He made his first start on 21 December 2011, losing to Internazionale 1–4. Before the match, coach Serse Cosmi had lost both first choice keepers[5] and also used the youth keeper Luigi Turbacci on the bench.[6]

He remained with Lecce for the 2012-13 Lega Pro Prima Divisione season after the club's relegation from Serie A in 2011-12 and subsequent expulsion from the Serie B for their part in the Calcio Scommesse scandal.

Casale

On 31 January 2013 he left for Casale.[7]

International career

Gabrieli was a backup goalkeeper in 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship elite qualification, behind Edoardo Pazzagli. Gabrieli also played once, the third and last match of that stage. Coach Francesco Rocca picked two born 1989 keeper, instead of picking from the pool of born 1988 players, the age limit of that season. Gabrieli was the starting keeper in 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualification, ahead Vincenzo Fiorillo. However he was not selected to the elite round by Rocca (Picked Fiorillo and Carlo Pinsoglio instead). Rocca was appointed as U-20 coach in 2008; he selected Gabrieli to the U-20 team at the start of 2008–09 season.[8][9] However Gabrieli failed to make debut. Instead Gabrieli received call-up from Italy Lega Pro under-20 representative team but failed to make debut either.[10][11] He only able to play in 2009 Lega Pro Quadrangular Tournament which lost to Lega Pro second division (Group B) U-21 representative team in the final.[12][13]
